Interview
with Kylah Kim
BY JOHN
LEE
Ktown213:
Hello Kylah, give our Ktown213 viewers your 30 second intro!
Kylah Kim: Howdy ya'll! So...I'm Kylah. : ) I was born & raised in
the great state of Texas. I come from a big family (I'm the third daughter
and also have a younger brother). Growing up as a middle child, I was always
seeking ways to get attention...hehe. Looks like all that scheming worked!
Seriously, I would describe myself as motivated, free-spirited, and
passionate . I can also be a total goof-ball and love joking around with my
friends!
Kt213: What have you been up to lately? Any current or upcoming
projects you'd like to share with our viewers?
KK: Oh, I am ALWAYS up to something crazy! My schedule right now is
hectic to say the least. Right now, I'm taking acting classes, going to
auditions, and throwin' in some spicy hot swimsuit/lingerie photo shoots in
between! I recently did a photo shoot for E! Wild On! It was so much fun and
we did an interview and some behind-the-scenes footage (which is always
crazy madness!) Also, look for me in a new Verizon slideshow called "Asian
Beauties." You can download it from your cell phone soon!
Kt213: Your resume is quite impressive...from film and TV to modeling
and hosting shows...what's your favorite thing to do?
KK: Honestly, my favorite thing to do is acting. I find it extremely
challenging, and therefore, rewarding. I like to create a fantasy world and
play different characters. Acting tests my limits in almost every imaginable
emotion/setting. I enjoy expressing myself and acting allows me to do that.
Kt213: Tell us a bit about your background, you grew up in Texas yes?
KK: Yep, yep! I grew up in a small city just outside of Dallas. There
were like NO Asians at my school so I was a total banana. But, during
college (Hook-em Horns!) I made the transition and learned so much about my
Korean-American heritage. It was really empowering to know where I came
from. For the first time, I really felt like I knew who I was and was
comfortable in my own skin. Oh, and as any good Texan would, I absolutely
LOVE football. I got so caught up in a game one year, that I refused to eat
Thanksgiving dinner when the Cowboys lost. Extreme, I know. That's me!
Kt213: Have you visited Korea or K-Town Los Angeles as of late? If
so, how was the experience? If not, would you like to?
KK: I visited Seoul once about 10 years ago so I don't remember
much. As for K-Town, you bet! I LOVE Korean food! Mr. Park's BBQ is
wonderful! Also, I love this cute, little Hello Kitty store in the Koreatown
Galleria. I have spent so much money in there, it's ridiculous!
Kt213: Where can we learn more about your Kylah Kim?
KK: Visit my website @
www.kylahkim.com. Also
you can myspace me @
www.myspace.com/kylahkim.
Kt213: Whats been the most funny or embarrassing moment in your
career?
KK: Hmmmm...I guess one of the first times I made a public
appearance (I did a national campaign for Bud Light), I had to sign posters
of myself in a bikini. It was pretty overwhelming but exciting at the same
time. One thing I remember thinking was that I simply had to improve my
signature! It looked like a 5-year-old's handwriting!
Kt213: On the same token, what has been the most memorable moment in
your career?
KK: Well, I am a total Seinfeld freak. I think I've seen every
episode like 10 times. So, I was doing this music video for Brad Paisley.
And, who walks in as the director?? Jason Alexander ("George Costanza")!! I
was soooooo psyched to be able to work with him...he was super cool!
Kt213: When Kylah's not so busy, some of her hobbies are...?
KK: You'll probably catch me taking a yoga/pilates class. I
also love being outdoors--especially, the beach! I enjoy jet skiing, snow
skiing, hiking, and boating. I am also obsessed with all things Hello Kitty!
Kt213: Well we thank you for your time Kylah, I'm sure our viewers
appreciate it greatly. We wish you nothing but the best in all your future
endeavors!
KK: Thank you guys!
